Android’s Gemini Space taking step to throttle Samsung Now Brief

Google could declare war on Samsung’s Now Brief feature with the new Gemini Space. The Pixel 10 series is expected to launch with this new Gemini Space, which should function in the way Now Brief does on Galaxy devices.
Samsung’s Now Bar displays small updates on the lock screen, while Now Brief offers a full-screen overview of contextual information. Google’s Gemini Space and Ambience Hub might deliver a similar experience for Pixel users.
Last year, Google tested moving the At a Glance widget to the bottom of the Pixel lock screen. This change aligns its design with Samsung’s Now Bar and Apple’s Live Activities, suggesting a visual overhaul for Gemini Space.
While Pixel’s At a Glance already provides some contextual data, it lacks the depth of Samsung’s Now Brief. Gemini Space could bridge this gap, offering Pixel users a richer, more accessible lock screen experience.
As Google prepares to launch Gemini Space, Pixel users can expect a more dynamic and informative interface. With its potential to rival Samsung’s features, Gemini Space could elevate the Pixel experience significantly.
Gemini Space
Evidence of Gemini Space first appeared in the Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 release, which includes a system configuration file named “Ambient Data.” This file is likely the internal codename for Gemini Space, hinting at its purpose.
Link between Gemini Space and Ambience Hub suggests a connection to contextual data, similar to features like ambient display or AOD. Findings indicate Gemini Space may include finance recaps and sports scores, enhancing the lock screen experience.
As Google preps a Now Brief-like feature for Pixel phones, Samsung is gearing up to elevate Galaxy experiences even further. The new One UI 8 update brings even more smart features and service integration that enhance the Now Brief feature.

Samsung powers Marvell’s AI chips in new front against Nvidia in the US

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has begun making and supplying silicon capacitors to Marvell Technology, a well-known US company that makes chips for artificial intelligence. In Q1 2025, the company started producing these silicon capacitors and has now delivered them to Marvell. This move is seen as a new challenge to Nvidia, the leader in AI chip technology.
So, what are silicon capacitors? Think of them as tiny helpers inside computer chips that keep power steady and help signals move smoothly. They are made using silicon wafers and can be placed very close to the main chip, which makes the whole system faster and more reliable. This is very important for AI chips that need to work quickly and handle lots of data.
At CES 2025, Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ CEO, Jang Deok-hyeon, mentioned they’ve already signed two big clients for these capacitors. He also shared the company’s goal to earn more than 100 billion won (about $75 million) in sales within one to two years from now.
This project is just a part of a bigger plan to develop new technologies. Last year at CES 2024, the company introduced a project called ‘Mi-RAE,’ which includes five new areas – silicon capacitors, all-solid-state batteries, hybrid lenses, glass substrates, and solid oxide electrolysis cells.
Samsung is also getting ready to produce glass substrates and provide battery samples to clients this year. Meanwhile, hybrid lenses are already being mass-produced.
By working with Marvell, Samsung is joining the US market for AI chips. As AI continues to grow, this collaboration could play an important role in the future of smart devices and high-performance computing in the US and beyond.

Samsung shifts foldable focus to US amid sluggish S25 Edge sales

Samsung is tweaking its game plan for 2025, dialing back on foldable phones while dodging potential US tariffs and grappling with slow Galaxy S25 Edge sales. It’s a tough time for foldables, so Samsung is leaning harder into its classic smartphones.
TheElec reports that Samsung is now targeting 600,000 foldable phone units in June for the US market, up from the previous 400,00 target. The company is preparing to avoid the potential US tariffs burden and launch the phones without a price hike.
The global foldable market is facing headwinds, with experts forecasting negative growth in 2025. Samsung is eyeing the US, where foldables still have fans. Despite tariff worries, it’s holding Galaxy Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 prices at $1,099 and $1,899.
Samsung has cut production for its Galaxy Z7 series. In June, the company plans to produce 1.34 million units, including 550,000 Galaxy Z Flip 7, 160,000 Z Flip 7 FE, and 630,000 Z Fold 7 units, down from earlier targets.
On the flip side, the sales of Samsung’s S25 series, launched in January 2025, are holding steady. The S25 Ultra is the star, followed by the Base and Plus models, but the new S25 Edge isn’t selling well, so Samsung is slashing its production.

This reduction follows lackluster sales of the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6, which sold around 4.9 million units combined. Unlike previous years, where the Z Flip models outsold the Z Fold models 65:35, 2024 saw a balanced 50:50 split.
Looking forward, the Korean tech giant is pumping up the S25 series production to 37.4 million units, up 7% from the Galaxy S24 lineup. It’s a bold move, and there’s talk of replacing the Plus for an Edge model in the 2026 Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung analyzing Google’s Pixel chip betrayal, but the real reason isn’t a secret

Google’s decision to move its Tensor G5 chip production from Samsung Foundry to TSMC for the Pixel 10 series has surprised Samsung. This shift, dubbed “the Google incident,” has sparked internal reviews at Samsung, but the reasons behind it are no secret.
The switch shocked Samsung, triggering a “wake-up call” for its foundry division. Samsung is now analyzing (via Jukanlosreve) “the Google incident”, exploring issues like yield and design limitations. Discussions even include a potential foundry spin-off.
For years, Google relied on Samsung to manufacture its Tensor chips. The partnership had challenges, with early chips facing performance and heat issues. Google sought a fully custom design, leading to TSMC’s 3nm process for the Tensor G5.
The real reason
Samsung’s foundry struggles played a key role. Its 3nm process yields only about 50% usable chips, compared to TSMC’s 90%. This gap affects efficiency and cost, pushing Google to TSMC, a foundry trusted by Apple and Qualcomm.
Google’s evolving needs also contributed, as it wanted diverse performance and features, but Samsung’s limited semiconductor design assets couldn’t keep up. This mismatch prompted Google to seek TSMC’s advanced tech and flexibility.
Despite the shift, Google hasn’t fully cut ties with Samsung. Leaks suggest the Pixel 10 will still use a Samsung Exynos 5400 modem, showing their partnership persists in some areas. This modem supports fast 5G and satellite connectivity.
Google’s move to TSMC isn’t just about one chip—it’s a signal of shifting industry trends. As TSMC dominates advanced chipmaking, Samsung must innovate to stay competitive. The Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 will test Google’s new path.
Samsung is now focused on recovery. It’s strengthening ties with partners and diversifying into automotive and robotics chips. The upcoming 2nm Exynos 2600 for the Galaxy S26 could help Samsung regain trust if successful.
